  • Yes, that’s exactly it, thank you!

    I checked another device where I got Fennec installed and it still works just fine there since I don’t have automatic updates enabled and it’s still on 139.0.4. But by the looks of it it seems to be intentional and I think I vaguely remember either F-Droid or some other place even advertising Fennec with that feature.

    I just installed Ironfox to check and I’m running into the same issue there. I’d also be fine with a browser that lets me enable closing all tabs and deleting all history and cache upon closing the browser, private mode was just an all in one solution for that.
    Are those too specific demands for a browser for android? I thought these were very basic wishes a user might have…





  • First impressions (to be continued when I watch the second episode next week)

    5x01 Nice feelgood introductory episode (action scenes in warp, actions scenes in the desert, saving the population of a city through the power of friendship combined shields, Romulan tech, a lot of TNG references I didn’t get because I never watched it but I’m sure it’s good fanservice, Book’s return, new Tilly storyline, new Saru story line, Kovich bringing in the unethical orders, Michael and Vance disregarding them etc etc) but I didn’t like that it felt as if someone desperately wanted to introduce every new storyline in the first episode


  • I saw this movie in cinema when it was released and I can tell you that I haven’t see it since so I haven’t got a clue ^^’
    What I can tell you is that I was 13 at the time and I had probably watched most of TOS and seen a few movies with the TOS cast tho I also can’t pinpoint which. Most of the plot of Into Darkness eludes me and I know even 13 year old me thought it felt like a very generic action sci-fi film, almost like Star Wars, and that my dad was disappointed by it for similar reasons.
    But I definitely wasn’t as disappointed as him; you can impress a 13 year old with explosions and I think that Leonard Nimoy’s obviously old appearance made me realize just how long ago TOS was filmed, but it also prompted me to research the actors of TOS a bit (I usually don’t care much for actors or celebrities in general).

    Seeing Into Darkness in cinema also lead to me believe that Star Trek as a franchise was still alive and well and I only realized later that these movies came seemingly out of nowhere. It’s probably also why my English teacher was so taken aback when I, a 7th grader, could explain a comic with a joke or pun of some kind about William Shatner’s toupee that was printed on one of her outdated worksheets a year prior to the release of Into Darkness (English isn’t my native language, otherwise this might sound pretty normal). But my parents just had their children rather late and my dad is a nerd who grew up with TOS, of course I know Star Trek.

    TL;DR: I think for me personally it helped me connect to a fandom I thought was dead; I’d have to see it again to give any actual analysis of the plot.

    I’m curious what made season 2 low quality for you, can you elaborate on that? I also finished season 2 yesterday, currently giving Discovery another try on my journey to watch all of Star Trek since I watched it as it was releasing but I stopped halfway through because the Terran Empire thing was difficult to keep track of for me at the time (probably because it helps my memory if I can watch an episode a day and don’t have to wait a week for the next one to keep track of the storyline). My rewatch made me a pretty big fan though and don’t really understand the hate it got/gets in the fanbase.
